An invitation to join us in prayer.

    Thank you for your interest in joining us in prayer!  We've been on quite an adventure the past few years.  In 2007 Adam and I did a Discipleship Training School (dts) with Youth With a Mission (YWAM), Denver. During this school we had the pleasure of being a part of an absolutely amazing outreach team in Eastern Europe.  We spent time in Romania, Bosnia and Hungry.  It was the first time in our lives that we had ever felt like we were in the right place at the right time doing exactly what we were made to do.  It didn't matter whether it was spending Adam's birthday in a garbage dump gypsy village or picking rocks out of the ground at an orphanage so the kids would have a place to play.  The work we were doing made us come alive in a way we have never experienced!  Neither before or since that time have we been so completely satisfied with the work of our hands. To be truly satisfied with the work of your hands, what a blessing!

     Shortly after Remy was born in 2009 we moved back to Pennsylvania with the intentions of going into missions full time.  We finally feel the time is right for our family to make the move.  On Saturday, August 27th,  Adam and I will be spending the day in worship and prayer to kick off our new adventure.  We would consider it an honor if you would come along side us in prayer that day.  We're asking that you would take some time out of your day to spend with God, mostly just praising Him and giving thanks for the blessings in your life but also to pray on our behalf as well.  As exciting as the future may seem to us, it also comes with much trepidation. The reality of the situation is that we're looking to move our children away from a family they love dearly, to a place we've never been, to do work that some may consider scandalous.  I'm sure you can see why Adam and I are asking for as much prayer as possible!  These are the things we are asking the Lord for:

  • Application being accepted

  • A solid support team

  • Any debts we have being paid off

  • Extended stay visas

  • The kids adjusting well

  • Money to move

  • A place to live

  • Smooth transition

  • Proper health and life insurance (insurance is compulsory in Switzerland)

  • Getting all of the projects done on our house before we go

  • Money and opportunity to visit this winter. 

Thank you so much for being a part of our lives and may God bless you for your willingness to keep us in prayer!
